[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

There would have been absolutely no good reason for a Hero-Farael to say what he said. He could well have died soon before, but now he will certainly die soon.

Check out Rune's post #127 (I think that's the right number—it's about there, anyway). Maybe it's just the strange wording, but he seems to be saying:

1) I voted for Wayne.

2) I didn't really suspect Wayne.

3) I believe him innocent.

4) And then ignores him.

It's as if Rune is implying that we should all presume Wayne's innocence, at a time when Rune's guilt was very much secret.

This strikes me as a clumsy attempt to cross swords with each other, and then reconcile soon after; so that when the guilt of one was found, the innocence of t'other would be presumed.

Now, this theory is clearly unworthy due to the lack of content in Wayne's posts. I will have a quick scurry and try to find any evidence in his words. There's a good chance that Wayne is an innocent bystander here, but I'll try to judge that by reviewing his posts. I'll be back in a few minutes.
